hehehe 😉 …My thoughts exactly!So, is “osteoproductive” the same thing as “osteoinductive”?
Take care
EtienneYes, they are the same, as in osteogenic.

Kenneth LukSpectatorDear all,
We’ve talked about different wavelengths of lasers and their applications. What about positioning a laser in the operatory ?
I’m setting up a new operatory and wonder the best position to place my laser. I would like to know your ideal choice please.
Lets’ forget about the layout of cabinets.
3.1m x 3.1m room ( 11.5 ftx 11.5 ft) This size should accomodate any positioning of the laser.
I’m right handed.
Where should the a laser be placed in relation to the handpieces and tray please ? I have an Elexxion Delos (Er+Diode) The laser can be moved with ease like the MD, Versawave, Opus Duo ,Deka , Periolase, Fotona..
You can also choose any dental chair and handpiece delivery system. ( Sirona,Adec, Delmont … )
Thanks,
Ken
AnonymousSpectatorKen, here’s how mine are placed (I’m left handed).
Periolase moves op to op and is placed next to Erbiums.
Op 1
Op2
Hope that helps and that all is well there.
Glenn van AsSpectatorHey there Ron…….nice photos. How is the scope going and do you now have 2 of them?
I am off to Hornbrook tomorrow for the 2nd part of the course putting in veneers for a good friend of mine (did some closed flap osseous – at his request!) and will post photos when they are done.

Nick LuizziSpectatorNice fireplace in op 1, Ron! Ergonomics in the operatories has really made ‘neat and orderly’ a challenge in our office. Cords, two lasers moving op to op is stressfull at times since I like everything I own at my finger tips. We could probably all benefit from those guys who always have things tricked-out. I would like to see some other lay outs. Like I tell my staff, ‘I’m a clean person, I’m just living in a messy person’s body’. Nick

yep, 2 now. 2nd was a demo. Use is coming along but mand. still difficult if I don’t use a mouth prop or isolite as there is just too much refocusing with each patient swallow and smile.
BTW, nice article in DT! What’s next on the tech purchase list?Nick, I noticed you didn’t include what your staff’s reaction was to that statement. So what do you use as the follow up statement after their reaction to the 1st statement? Just want to get all the ammo in case I try to use that one myself ;).
Nick LuizziSpectatorHi Ron:
They laugh at my statement. But I have heard them say things like, ‘that’s why he has us two mommys (DAs) to keep him organized!’
I am moving toward getting my two scopes ceiling mounted, I am just concerned how all the associated wireing will work from the scope to the monitors, etc. I have heard they run the wireing through 2″ elect. conduit from floor to walls. As we get more tech’ed out it really is becomeing a challenge.
By the way, Ron, thanks for your mentoring at the last ALD meeting in moving me toward the periolase. Best thing I have done. Thanks. I wish they would get them into Canada so that Glenn Van As could join in on the periolase forum, I keep thinking he will pop up there some day. He adds so much input the the threads. Have a great day, Nick
Kenneth LukSpectatorHi Ron,
Thanks for showing me your set up.
We’re having the scope wall mounted in one room. In the other room, we can only use the standup version like yours.
Ken
dkimmelSpectatorI love that statement “I’m a clean person, I’m just living in a messy person’s body”. I’ll try that on my wife this morning….
Ergonomics are tough we the laser. I am also trying to figure out how to redo a few ops. I have side delivery and am thinking of changing the cabinets to allow a cut out for the trunk fiber. Ther is just not enough room in the ops. Unless I go on a diet.
I routinely use the Periolase in a rear delivery postion from the leftwith the foot pedal behind the patient chair. I have also done this with the MD bringing the trunk fiber over my right shoudler. I like using the Periolase this way but doing this with the MD does not work if I have to change settings .
I am thinking of chaging the chair postion in my ops. I think I can place them at an angle and gain more room.
Never gets boring…
Kenneth LukSpectatorThanks David,
I’m still undecided with different delivery.
With side delivery, cart type, the laser cannot be mobile enough.
When the laser is in my 2’oclock position, chair mount delivery (whip arm hose )cannot be swung close enough to reach the handpieces easily, worse still reaching for instruments on the tray.
Hanging hose ones are good but it feels a bit clostrophobic to patient.
Ken
Kenneth LukSpectatorHi,
What do you think about this arrangement? My friend’s op

Nick LuizziSpectatorI would like to propose a toast to Glenn Van As. His spread in this months DT is nice to see. He is an all around great guy who has done tons to further the use of lasers in dentistry as well as promote the Acad of Microscope dentistry. Way to go, Glenn.!!

dkimmelSpectatorThis month in DE I am reading a great article on the 3i’s of technology intergration. As I read I get the feel that I have read this authors work before. Wierd feeling then I check the aruthor and its DINO!!!!!
Nice job!!! Congrats!!
dkimmelSpectatorYea ,yea. I just want know how he managed to get back in shape!!! Or was that picture photoshoped??
Congrats Glenn! Or should I say CLAP CLAP!!
whitertthSpectatorlooks nice…and I like the clean neat look of the elexion laser…. I have mine at the foot of the patient always plugged in and wheel it forward when necessary….
